Queen of the purple flame(Revised)

VIII. Coronation

New Year's Day, 1520

Lucille was sat in her chariot on her way to her coronation, being a beautiful shade of a deep mauve that sparkled in the sunlight. Lucille adjusted her coronation gown which was made from the finest purple; silk and velvet brocade. She sat on the silky violet velvet cushions inside the chariot, alongside her ladies in waiting.

She had a low neckline, wore a diamond amethyst amulet, matching earrings and ring. Pinned to her gown she wore a silver brooch in the design of a panther emblazed in fire, whilst on her feet she wore black leather shoes with white diamond buckles.

Over her head she wore an enchanting royal purple veil. Her six ladies in waiting all wore matching gowns of crème white satin brocade with gold lacing embroidery, white gloves and silver cross necklaces. The chauffeur steered at the helm of the chariot where it was pulled by two inanely fierce immensely large black panthers - Lucille's familiars: Sabine and Marcelle, which had grown so enormous as they were a magical breed of the species. they both were as black as night and had matching sapphire eyes. When Lucille was in danger, they were not far behind to protect her.

The chariot came to a halt outside Villamorte Cathédrale. The chauffer opened the chariot doors for the monarch and her ladies in waiting as Lucille got out of the chariot. Her guards were stationed outside the Cathédrale they wore thick black charcoal velour fabric tunics, embroidered into the fabric was the La Beaufeu house insignia which was of a panther emblazed in fire.

Lucille pulled her veil down which sparkled magically as it hid her beautiful face. She made her grand entrance to the Cathédrale ready to take back her crown; that she wrought so hard to reclaim. Lucille's coronation robes came down to the ground. Her attendants held it from the back as she walked into the grand Cathédrale. The great arched doors opened as the procession walked the mosaic aisle looking regal in every way.

The ladies in waiting trailed behind their Queen as Lucille smiled when she passed the members of the royal court and they bowed their heads in respect. They were all enchanted by her radiant beauty and her gown which glittered as she passed them by.

Her closest acquaintance, Alessandro gave her a nod as if to say you deserve this day. She had claimed back her birthright with the support of Alessandro Maledizion da Fortiz, the High King of Oakencrest in the kingdom of Terra Fortis. Following the death of his father succumbing to phthisis Alessandro gave back Lucille her birthright for he knew in his heart that the Kingdom of La Royaume was in safe hands: or so he thought...

Lucille stood up on the dais as her ladies in waiting helped her unveil herself. Her beauty was revealed to the nobles as they saw her beautiful face emerge from beneath the cloth. Her face was smooth as silk and glowed with radiance; she looked very young she was twenty years old, had long black hair that parted in the middle and curled on both sides down to the left side of the neckline.

She had the most amazing dark brown beautiful eyes that glowed purple when she summoned her magic, she wore no make-up other than the purple glittering lipstick she wore on her lips and she had a beautiful scent of lavender roses that smelt like it could've been from the Garden of Eden. It was heavenly to behold. One aroma of her scent made the nobles fall in love with her immediately.

Cardinal Hemlock came forward - his manservant handed him the crown on a violet velvet cushion of ermine, embellished with solid gold with pearls, diamonds and with a jewel encrusted panther's eye on top. He held it aloft Lucille's head as the Cardinal spoke the Coronational Oath and the Queen repeated it in her regal French accent.

"I Lucille La Beaufeu, Duchess of Beaufeu, Queen of the Kingdom of La Royaume, great-great granddaughter of Geneviève the Great do solemnly swear to uphold the laws to bring peace and prosperity and to condemn those who break the laws. I vow this today and the many days to come!"
